Free Web NovelChapter 2188: Chapter 236: True Fire Burns the Field! (Part 2)
Even the heavens and the earth trembled in unison!
In this brief pause, Zhongxuan Sheng had already stirred Soldier Slayer, bursting forth at extreme speed past Li Fu’s side, directly heading southeast, breaking out of the battle in an instant!
He fled desperately, fled without regard.
The speed of this Soldier Slayer cloud was pushed to its limit, tearing through space for a good while—
Boom!
The entire Soldier Slayer cloud exploded.
Faces ashen, the soldiers of Victory Camp fell like rain.
Some immediately stood back up, while others could never open their eyes again.
Zhongxuan Sheng quickly tallied, leaving only eight hundred thirty-six survivors.
Many soldiers died from sheer exhaustion!
These were his brothers, fighting life and death alongside he and Jiang Wang, across thousands of miles, now reduced to just eight hundred thirty-six.
And Fourteen...
Fourteen, cradled in Zhongxuan Sheng’s arms, her breath was fading.
Zhongxuan Sheng shattered her armor, lest the heavy gear crush her in this state, finally seeing her face as pale as gold leaf.
As a Transcendent Cultivator far stronger than ordinary soldiers, unable to partake in God-approaching level battles, she had almost boundlessly overexerted herself in the army formation.
All her True Yuan, all her vital energy, was relentlessly devoted to the battle formation.
She was stronger than any soldier in the Victory Camp, yet she was the first to overdraw herself!
And so she was now so debilitated!
"Brothers!" Zhongxuan Sheng rasped, "Find a way to hide nearby, I’ll go reinforce our troops, I, Zhongxuan Sheng, will never abandon you!"
The warriors capable of speech erupted in chaotic voices.
"General, quickly go!"
"Go find someone to save Marquis Jiang!"
"We’ve never suffered such a loss, bring people to avenge the brothers!"
...
Not at all aligned, devoid of any momentum.
Yet most vibrant hearts throbbed here.
These beliefs, these fervors, these hopes...
These voices gradually faded, scattered in the wind behind him.
Zhongxuan Sheng, hurriedly feeding elixir to Fourteen, held her as he flew swiftly forth; he had to be faster, he had to reach Hui Ming Fu, amass the army, slaughter this group of Summer Country’s vile Marquises!
"Sheng...Brother."
In Zhongxuan Sheng’s arms, Fourteen, after swallowing the elixir, weakly breathed, "What did Jiang Wang ask you... what did he tell you that time?"
At such a critical moment, she posed this question.
Reserved by nature, not eloquent, spending years sequestered in her armor.
Her life’s most significant person was, of course, Zhongxuan Sheng. But aside from Zhongxuan Sheng, the only person who could qualify as a friend was the sometimes sharp, sometimes dumb brute, Jiang Qingyang, who so often wanted to spar with Victorious Younger Brother.
"You’ve heard it too."
Zhongxuan Sheng repeated, as if both for Fourteen’s confidence and his own, "You’ve heard it too..."
"He said..."
He uttered only these two words when tears suddenly, without warning, welled up.
He was too clever, never having regretted anything since young.
But at this moment, remorse devoured his heart!
He deeply regretted why he dared venture into Noble City!
Overconfident in his wit, wanting to claim what was his, but why did he repeatedly drag Jiang Wang along with him on perilous gambles?
That globally renowned genius, destined with boundless brilliance!
Even the position of Beiyar Commander could be refused, even Emperor Qi’s goodwill could be declined, did this person named Jiang Wang truly covet power, prestige, and splendor?
The reason Jiang Wang came to the Battlefield of Felling Summer, participated in all battles—from Linzi’s western Pointing Generals’ Stage all the way to Summer Country’s Sang Mansion—was entirely for him. Entirely for him!
He laughed at this man’s naivety, laughed at his foolishness.
Laughed and laughed, leading this man into an abyss.
Yet this fool, still saying, what did I tell you that time?
Still reminding him to seize the chance and escape with the Victory Camp brothers!
Zhongxuan Sheng, tears flowing, his unhandsome chubby face, full of wrinkles.
This was his second time crying in his life.
Previously only once, and never again thereafter.
Through tears, he said, "God Descending Realm he... will be very strong! He said God Descending Realm he will be very strong!"
His skin already oozed blood, he flew with desperation beyond limits, sacrificing his life force.
"He speaks true and makes true." Fourteen weakly emphasized, tears also falling.
...
Those who escaped wouldn’t alter the battle’s outcome.
Under usual circumstances, Shang Yanhu would certainly berate Li Fu resoundly, for in his view, Zhongxuan Sheng, who had mastered the art of leadership, posed more threat than Jiang Wang or Zhongxuan Zun.
But at this moment, he couldn’t bother, involuntarily captivated by Jiang Wang’s ascendancy.
Whether Li Fu, Shang Yanhu, Jin Ling, Xue Chang, Chu Rang, or even that Bloody Demon Bat missing half a wing, none could avert their gaze at this instant!
Far above, ancient star domes and four Star Towers erupted with unspeakably brilliant radiance, even more dazzling than sunlight!
Only those with true Divine Skills in sight could faintly perceive amidst that glaring brilliance...
A seven-layer azure stone tower, overseeing Jade Balance. freёwebnoѵel.com
A seven-layer pentagon quaint little tower, standing at Kai Yang.
A red seven-layer four-eaved little tower, situated at Heavenly Pivot.
A grand seven-layer purple edifice, commanding Shaking Light.
The Star Path twisted, journeyed through Jade Balance, connected Kai Yang, ran through Shaking Light, and reached Heavenly Pivot. It passed Heavenly Weight, Heavenly Splendor, and Heavenly Spinning.
Immeasurable immense Star Power surged along the vast Star Path.
